I am actually 37 mi. from Vernon, (I checked)—
thought I was closer-—driving to certain customers
I often see turnoffs for Vernon. An interesting development
there. At least there was a sizable majority population still able to act on its own behalf. The same is not true for the worst offenders, towns small and large, so steeped
in corruption and bleeding the system dry by “officials”, that there’s no chance for a sensible ‘uprising’ like this.
What was that small California town which should serve as an
example of “what’s gone wrong”??Ashamed to say I’ve forgotten it.) Don’t know anything about those onion fields.
Pine Island, NY (Orange County). Lost the entire crop to the floods of Irene/Lee. (I assumed that you lived in NY - sorry.)
Vernon has always been a Republican territory (as is Sussex County as a whole) but back when I lived there they kept to the Sgt. Schultz mentality - "I see nothing..." (Yes, I know that being Republican does not necessarily mean you are conservative...)
